Commentary: In a traditional TV show, after Franklin confiscates the healing device it'd never be seen again. Here, it's incorporated into a major plot point just a few episodes down the line (in Revelations). It's also seen again much later, in Season 4's Endgame.

The stuff about mind-wiping is very important down the line, as it introduces the same kind of thing that happens to Garibaldi in Season 4.

Also, the scenes with Londo and Lennier are very funny. Remember kids, tentacles = humor.

The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. . . .
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings. (IV,i)
